I got a surprise last night when i turned up at footy training. There was a dude out on the park that i didn’t recognise yelling at the boys. It’s not uncommon for old clubmen to come out of the woodwork as you get closer to a premiership. “Who is this big-shot ass-hole ring-in” i thought as i jogged a lap before joining in on the drills.

As i got a bit closer i realised that the big-shot ass-hole ring-in was none other than Dermott Brereton. As i realised this, i began giggling like a little girl at christmas. I was to make it my task of the night to at some point touch the great man.

The living legend took training and then hung around to give the boys a bit of a pep-talk before their 2nd Semi on Sunday.

A couple of years ago before we played in the Div 2 Grand Final and became Premiers we had a little visit from Dipper. So i suppose in a couple of weeks time we’ll get visit from Gary Ayres?

quite obviously ‘touching’ the Dermott

Mum will be very jealous. Go Hawks!

today my eye has a lot of blood in it, although the swelling has gone down a little. i have booked in to see my GP just in case. I’m such a pussiman.

day 2


I don’t really look like an inuit, do i?

i just love healing. And the newest thing that i have to heal is a shiney new eye, optained from the footy final on the weekend. Alas, we did not win, but i got a free new wound to heal for the next week or so. As always, there will be more healing progress photos forthcoming.

day 1

It’s still pretty fresh, and so the colour is still coming out – it’s going to look great in a couple of days.
